About The Record:

I'm Your Man is a song by Wham!, released in 1985 on Epic Records in the UK and most of the world, and Columbia Records in the US. It was written and produced by George Michael. I'm Your Man became Wham!'s third No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart, but did not feature on a studio album, and was essentially an isolated single which was only followed up by a re-issue of the previous year's Christmas hit, Last Christmas. Already the signs were there that George, now bearded, was ready to move his career into an adult market. The song also reached No. 3 on the US Billboard Hot 100, prevented from further chart movement by Rocky IV soundtrack single Burning Heart by Survivor and That's What Friends Are For by Dionne and Friends. Within six months of I'm Your Man, Wham! had announced their split. They had a fourth and final No. 1 and released a farewell album, prior to a concert at Wembley Stadium, at which I'm Your Man was the last song Michael performed with partner Andrew Ridgeley. An extended mix of the song was released on Wham!'s 1986 album Music from the Edge of Heaven (the U.S. version of their final album The Final). In 1996, the song was re-recorded by Michael in a funkier style. In 2012, comedian John Bishop mimed and danced to the song along with a "Mini Me" version of himself at the end of his tour DVD Rollercoaster. The official music video for the song was directed by Andy Morahan. The video is presented in black and white, set in the London club Marquee where Wham! are performing the song. An extended intro and outro has George and Andrew trying without success to sell tickets to passers by. George makes a phone call to his agent Simon Napier-Bell, complaining about having to sing at the Marquee. He is heard to say "Simon, don't cry" and finally hangs up on him with the words "we got a gig to play goodbye".
